Living in Arendsboer en omgeving Noord, Almelo
Arendsboer en omgeving Noord is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the north side of Almelo, with a predominantly ground-oriented character. The housing stock largely consists of single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s: terraced houses and semi-detached houses with gardens, interspersed with a few detached homes.

The appeal lies in the tranquillity, the relatively spacious layout of the streets, and the proximity to amenities without living in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
The neighbourhood borders the Bornsestraat, a through road towards the centre of Almelo and towards Bornerbroek. This makes the location practical: you can cycle to the city centre in about ten to fifteen minutes. By car, the connection to the N35, the link road towards Zwolle and Enschede, is relatively quick to reach. Bus services run via the Bornsestraat and provide connections to the centre and Almelo station, from where trains depart towards Deventer and Hengelo.
